What ruined Janto for me was people insistently treating it like an OTP instead of what it was: an office romance between a dude who was primarily straight but had been thrown so far past his comfort zone that he was practically the embodyment of stockholm syndrome, and a much, much older man who is fundamentally incapable of maintaining a relationship and who will enthusiastically jump into bed with anyone remotely willing, regardless of the circumstances.

[(Anonymous)]

He didn't jump into bed with Gwen and she was more than remotely willing during the first 1.5 years.

I think it's more she didn't jump into bed with him. And she wasn't quite that willing. She started her fling with Owen Cooper practically episode 2. By the time that had run it's course, she'd realized she really didn't want to lose Rhys. From then on, she's been faithful.

However Jack did eyesex Gwen the fuck up pretty much through the entire show. Along with pretty much everyone else, including that poor guy he helped commit suicide.

See, with the Gwen thing (besides RTD somehow being bent on making this the UST from hell) - I always read it as Jack being unwilling to break up a relationship. I think that if Gwen would have broken up with Rhys, he'd definitely would have gone for it, but he was not willing to be used as an excuse/catalyst to break up a marriage - especially because he essentially knows he sucks at relationships, so he knew he'd be leaving Gwen with nothing.

With Ianto, such attachments were not an issue - on the contrary, Ianto just lost his girlfriend in a pretty nasty way, and one could argue he started the relationship because he himself was damaged too, and they comforted each other in that sort of way.
